On an overcast, dreary December day, I found a ray of sunshine in the form of a lone, bright-yellow dandelion bloom among my dried, brown leaves. Usually, I don’t get pleasure from the sight of a dandelion, but seeing it made me smile. Thank you, Mother Nature.

A million thanks to the person who paid off my layaway. It was such a blessing. I’ve never had that happen before, and I plan on blessing others as I can so they can have the same wonderful feeling. God bless you.

Love is covering someone with a blanket while they are sleeping.

I would like to thank the Air Capital Chorus for a wonderful concert in support of the Kansas Food Bank. Keep the whole world singing, guys.

Thank you, E-Eagle. Instead of putting on my parka and mukluks to venture outside in the dreadful weather to collect the paper Thursday, I just turned on the iPad in the comforts of home.

Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light. And forgive.
